| Vinification |
Traditional fermentation methods are employed with a floating cap at a controlled temperature (27-28 degrees), carried out in large Slavonian oak vats, frequently pumping over the contents. This is followed by a long stay of the must on the skins; about thirty days, in order to extract as much polyphenolic substances as possible to facilitate the start of the subsequent malolactic fermentation in barriques. |
| Ageing |
24 months in medium toasted French oak barriques from the Jupilles area, a town surrounded by the Bercè forest, where this extra-fine grain oak is located. The wine is then left in large 3000/5500 litre Slavonian oak barrels for 6 months and thereafter it spends 12 months in bottle. |
| Pairing |
Grilled red meat, meat pies, lamb and mature cheese. |
